Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dooncaha

In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Monument, depicted as roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, part of enclosing element may be incorporated into slightly curving earthen bank (int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.55m) which form part of field boundary system; boundaries to S of enclosure have been removed. Extending into field from boundary SSE->SW is slight scarped edge (H 0.15m; Wth 1.8m) which is probably remains of enclosing element. Site was described in 1964 (OPW Top. File) as circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.25m) with gap on E side. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
